在R中安装软件包“ locClass”

Question

I want to install a package named "locClass" in R but always failed and kept getting the following warning:

install.packages("locClass", repos="http://download.r-forge.r-project.org/")

Package which is only available in source form, and may need compilation of C/C++/Fortran: ‘locClass’
These will not be installed

The install command is referred to: https://r-forge.r-project.org/R/?group_id=1187

Also, I downloaded the package source from the above website. But R returned the following:

library(locClass)

Error in library(locClass) : ‘locClass’ is not a valid installed package

My R version is 3.3.3. I tried the 3.4.0 but failed the same way.

Answer 1

This is not exactly a solution but an alternative to utilize functionality of package locClass . Download the package file of locClass from here and source(functions.R) present here . This way you can use all functions available in package.

Note : function.R means FLXMCL.R , FLXMCLconstant.R etc.

I'm still looking for a better solution but this is a temporary alternative.
